Fruity crochet Apple coasters pattern

I had an idea to make some apple coasters a long time ago, way way back when I made some apple tags, but I had completely forgotten about this until recently when I came across some green wool in my stash which was the same colour as these previous tags. I wasn’t going to wait any longer to get some made in case they got forgotten about again so I got cracking and put a pattern for some together. I opted to just make three coasters to start, a front and back and a middle piece, but you could add in more middle pieces too if you wanted a few more coasters in the set. I opted to use green but you could use red if you prefer.

Apple coasters pattern:

4 mm hook

Green or red Dk wool

Cream/white DK wool

Brown DK wool

For the front and back coaster:

Starting in green

Make a magic ring, ch1, 6sc into the ring.

Round 1: 2sc into each sc in the round

Round 2: 2sc into the next stitch, sc. Repeat around

Round 3: 2sc into the next stitch, 2sc. Repeat around

Round 4: 2sc into the next stitch, 3sc. Repeat around

Round 5: 2sc into the next stitch, 4sc. Repeat around

Round 6: sc around

Round 7: 2sc into the next stitch, 5sc. Repeat around

Round 8: sc sround

Round 9: slip stitch around into each sc
